Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 904



Chapter 904: Chapter 856 Is He Really Researching Mechs?_1 Chapter 904: Chapter 856 Is He Really Researching Mechs?_1 “From now until the start of work on the 8th…”

Mavis’s voice suddenly rang out between Lincoln and Camille Victoria, and both of them looked down at Mavis.

Camille Victoria didn’t understand what Mavis was trying to say, while Lincoln felt these words seemed somehow familiar…

Mavis continued: “Other than the scheduled aerospace training, use all the remaining time to mm-mm-mm-mm!”

The last few words were muffled back by an irate Lincoln who covered her mouth.

Looking at Camille Victoria’s confused eyes, Lincoln covered Mavis’s mouth and explained, “It’s okay, Mavis had some beer earlier and she hasn’t completely sobered up.”

After saying that, he glared down at Mavis before finally letting go of her.

His threat took effect: Mavis, donned in a green dinosaur suit, sat on the ground with a thud, holding her chin and stopped talking.

Only then did the little princess pick up Lincoln’s words: “What’s the gameplay of Animal Party?”

“It’s simple: Have players don cute animal suits and then throw them into different scenarios for elimination matches.”

“Unlike the competitive play of Candy Track, the core gameplay of Animal Party is combat.”

“Of course, we will change a lot of physics parameters to ensure that it has an adorable and silly group fight style of tiny animals, not realistic hard-boiled combat.”

“And add in some funny weapons like wrenches, tennis rackets, toilet plunger…”

However, as he was saying this, Lincoln paused as he realized that such a “Party-type” game as “Animal Party,” couldn’t convey the fun with just words.

No matter how much you explain, it’s not as good as personally experiencing it.

So, he stopped.

The little princess in a bunny suit looked up, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just suddenly felt: It’s better not to spoil it completely so when you play it, you can enjoy the full fun.”

“Okay.” The princess obediently nodded and then asked, “So, do we continue playing?”

Although she mentioned that the game has been somewhat lacking in creativity recently, she still enjoyed playing it!

Especially when Lincoln, who seems to be very good at everything during the weekdays, was left behind on the racetrack by her, a “Master Level Player,” it was too much fun!

When the three of them teamed up for a game, Lincoln was basically the one lagging behind.

He has been practicing high-intensity boxing in reality, followed by intense aerospace training, his athletic ability and sense of balance are very strong, which should far exceed ordinary players when entering the virtual world.

But the issue is: The heavy shell on his body had too significant an influence; he even had to find a balance and center of gravity afresh, so he was constantly being beaten up by various rolling barrels and air hammers.

His consciousness could completely keep up, but his body, clad in a shell, was like a cerebral palsy patient; it couldn’t keep up with the movements of his consciousness at all.

—— He hadn’t played in too long…

What’s worse was that his opponents were all playing every day.

After this addition and subtraction, he turned out to be the biggest newcomer in the field!

Compared to that, Camille Victoria, who truly is a “Master Level Player” who plays every day, ranked among the top even among many experts.

Mavis was almost the same.

So when the three of them played together, it was like two top-level players brought him, a novice, to play the game…

Lincoln’s gaming experience was average, but the princess and Mavis were having a lot of fun, laughing all the way.

So Lincoln gritted his teeth and said, “Play!”

“After you get home, I’ll work overtime to finish Animal Party, it’ll be quick with Mavis’s help.”

“I can help too!” Camille Victoria immediately raised her hand.

“Who would have the person receiving the gift make it themselves?

Just wait to play it, let’s start the next one.”

After saying that, without waiting for Camille Victoria’s rebuttal, Lincoln directly started the next match.

Camille Victoria calculated the time needed for the return journey and the latest time to return home set by her parents, and said goodbye to Lincoln at almost the last three minutes.

Before leaving, she sneakily kissed Lincoln and then ran off.

After seeing her off, Lincoln began to work overtime.

Fortunately, with Mavis’s help, this matter was indeed not difficult.

An hour later, it was already 10:30 at night, Lincoln’s multi-platform account simultaneously posted a post——

‘Surprise launch trailer for Animal Party!’

‘The third day of the lunar new year, 8 a.m., a brand-new game mode in Paradise – Animal Party, don’t miss it!’

Below the text was a trailer that lasted only 45 seconds.

Lincoln’s popularity needs no introduction; even though it was late at night, there were constantly discussions about the ‘Mech’ in the comments section.

So, the moment he updated the post, the netizens thought he was finally going to come forward and clarify what the ‘Crimson Storm Blueprint’ was all about.

And then they saw the Animal Party trailer…

This led to the comments in the first few seconds of the trailer being filled with:

“???

“Where is my Mech?”

“What is this?”

“What are you doing?”

“Is the Mech really or fake?”

The barrage of comments was so thick it almost covered the trailer screen.

Newcomers had to block the comments to get a clear view of the screen’s contents –

A cute anthropomorphic corgi stood in front of the camera lens curiously and even moved closer to tap the lens.

Then a green anthropomorphic crocodile, adorned with sunglasses and a heavy gold chain, suddenly appeared behind the corgi and fiercely pulled it down by the neck, saying, “How many times have I told you?

Stay away from that thing!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a plump anthropomorphic tiger flew onto the screen and swept the crocodile away with one belly bump!

“How dare you hit my buddy?!”

Another fluffy golden kitten wielding a giant lollipop knocked out the belly-up, yet-to-rise chubby tiger with a single smack.

“How dare you hit my brother?!”

The screen changed to a line of adorable little animals getting on an airplane in an orderly fashion.

A voiceover piped up:

[This is a harmonious and friendly game that promotes friendship.]

The lens switched to a dazed, pale green dinosaur obliviously walking on a submarine.

A crocodile teetered on the edge of falling into the sea, struggling to climb up the metal side of the submarine while pleading, “Help me!

Give me a hand!”

The passing dinosaur turned its head, nodding in agreement, “Okay!”

But his too-long snout accidentally knocked on the crocodile’s head, and he sent the poor croc plunging off the submarine.

[Here, you will find players willing to help others …]

A dim-witted white goose was endlessly fascinated by the bomb it held.

An orange cat and a calf approached to join.

Then the bomb went “boom,” and the three little guys were blown away.

[You will also find wise players …]

On an airplane, a seal, a panda and a mole were running vainly on a frozen wing, only to be slipped off by the ice, tumbling off the tilted wing of the plane with a long trailing scream of “ahhh”.

[And brave players.]

In the snowy landscape, a husky, a cow, and a pig were working together to move a large piece of ice.

The husky suddenly unleashed a kick that sent the huge ice block flying, knocking over the cow and pig, and it slid quite a distance along the ice.

[And cooperative players!]

[In order to foster friendship among you all, we have prepared various handy tools.]

The corgi was swinging a beer bottle, systematically knocking down a slew of cute little animals – one after another.

The little tiger was agilely swinging a pair of nunchaku, taking down two opponents in a row, only to accidentally knock himself out with a swing.

The bull was dragging a toilet plunger suctioned onto the head of the orange cat, headed straight for the edge of the ring.

The Erha (a breed of dog) held a boomerang with both hands, hesitated a bit before swinging it, but it only flew out less than two meters before spinning back and knocking him out…

[In short, this place has everything, come and deepen your friendships with your buddies!]

In the last two seconds, the trailer managed to squeeze in a part of the game’s reward system:

Different styled pet collars rapidly cycled around the neck of the orange cat.

They had a variety of materials and color schemes, as well as various pendants such as bells, name tags, and bones …

After playing this part, the trailer finally ended, and the game title emerged in large letters-

[Party Animals – For Summer]

[Stay tuned!]

———

The casual gamers were so excited they were speaking gibberish:

“What is this?!

What did I see?!”

“This is too cute!

Oh my god, Lincoln finally remembered ‘Paradise!’ I’m so happy!”

“I’m going to recharge my monthly card right now!!”

“Erha looks really stupid-laughing out loud.”

“Promote friendship?

As if I’d believe you!”

“I knew it!

Cloud Dream wouldn’t possibly go through the whole New Year’s holiday without doing anything.

I knew it!”

…..

Some players had more unique focuses:

“For Summer?

Like, dedicated to Summer?

Isn’t it still before the beginning of spring?”

“Think about it!

The last time Cloud Dream Games titled with a suffix, it was ‘Fortnite’ congratulating two veteran producers on their wedding.

This time it might be for someone specific too!”

“Summer?

Someone with summer in their name?

Oh my god, is Lincoln falling for someone?!”

“Nonsense!

Look at Lincoln’s schedule for game development and tech research, when would he have time to pursue girls?!”

Apart from these discussions about the trailer itself, there emerged an unignorable voice-

“Lincoln seems to really be building a mech!”

“This abrupt, unanticipated game trailer is the most obvious evidence!”

“Think about it!

When has Cloud Dream ever released a trailer in the middle of the night?”

“Clearly, it’s because Lincoln accidentally leaked his mech-building activities.

So he hastily created a new mode to distract everyone and mislead the public!”

“I would advise you all not to get your hopes up about this new game.

It’s all smoke and mirrors!

Given such rushed development time, plus no staff to help, how much can Lincoln possibly pull off no matter how skilled he is?”

Having watched the trailer for ‘Animal Party’ and having conducted a summary analysis of public internet opinion, the six members of the Lincoln Countermeasures Group at the American Central Intelligence Agency looked at one another in silence.

“He can’t really be researching mechanical armor, can he?”
